Hi! I have a Sony Vaio VGN FW250j. The laptop worked just fine one day then the next, I noticed that certain keys (1,2,Q,W,S,Z)would not type in the certain characters when needed. The only time these keys input the correct character is when you have to pound the key until the letter or number pop up. Nothing has been spilled on it nor has the laptop ever been dropped. It is always kept in the case and is cleaned on a regular basis for dust....... PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

Hello Christa, If the keys only work when you apply excessive force, it is usually one of two problems. Something has become lodged under one of the keys in that area, and a can of air just can't remove the obstruction, or the keyboard it ...
